That's just not true. Unless you are homeless and have no education,
its not such a big deal to at least learn to fly.

Then why do so few people do it? In the U.S., less than 1/10 of one percent
of the population learns to fly.

In the U.S., less than 1/10 of one percent of the population learns to play
golf, play the guitar, or do needle point.

What's your point other than you're homeless and have no education?

I know a few teenage kids at my local airport who earned their
PPLs with just a part time job at the FBO during the summers.

How many teenage kids are willing to go to that extreme just to learn to fly?

Only you would think a teenage kid getting a summer job is "extreme".

It can be done and its actually a cake if you have a college education.

Why would a college education make it easier?

People with a college education tend to make more money than uneducated
people like you.

$5k or even $10k is not that
much in the grand scheme of things these days. That would be the cost
of a vacation trip to Europe for a family of 4.

Most families of four never go to Europe.

Nor do they go to Asia, Fiji, the Bahamas, or lots of other places.

What's your point other than you can't afford to go anywhere?
